GA080C - 3P SWITCH 80A-DOOR MOUNTING

Why Choose the GA080C?

Designed for dependable isolation in control panels, the Lovato GA080C is a three‑pole switch disconnector, door‑mount version, rated 80 A for AC systems. Part of the GA series, it offers a front IP20 solution with robust thermal rating and straightforward panel integration. With a conventional free‑air thermal current Ith of 80 A and high endurance, it suits a wide range of industrial switching duties.

Rated Ui 1000 V with 8 kV impulse withstand, this GA series switch disconnector delivers 80 A at AC21A 400/500/690 V and 80 A at AC22A 400/500 V, with 47 A at AC22A 690 V; AC23A is 80/63/47 A at 400/500/690 V. Conditional short‑circuit current is 50 kA with gG80 fuse. Terminals accept 4–70 mm² conductors tightened to 5–6 Nm, and operation spans −25 to +55 °C.
